’65’ (2023) Review – an underwhelming sci-fi but still watchable thanks to Adam Driver’s commanding presence
It was the week leading to the Oscars and all the movies in the top 5 box office would never have been nominated. Third on the list is 65, which beat pundits' expectations and defied dismal reviews with a $12 million domestic gross. I LOVE Adam Driver and dinosaur movies, so I don't mind buying …

For in-flight viewing, I tend to catch up on movies I had missed and I always opted for feel-good fares as who wants to be spooked or stressed out while flying? The Phantom Of The Open is definitely a perfect movie to watch for such an occasion! It’s a biopic of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane …
